Tell the Tribune: How are you spending your extra $15?

Tell the Tribune: As part of the economic stimulus package passed by Congress earlier this year, workers are starting to see a few extra dollars in their paychecks. The actual amount varies according to earnings, retirement contributions and the like, but for many it appears to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 per week.
